I Collaborate with vocalists, orchestras, bands and other performers around the world to achieve desired performances. Around the world, I have worked with musicians from different cultures, and I believe that has really helped nurture my musical taste. 
I write and edit all genres of music. I am currently working on DAW softwares as Logic Pro, Fruity loops and Ableton to make and curate a variety of compositions. I am fluent in a variety of music collections, ranging from Afro to various combinations of Afro with jazz, piano and the fusion of these genres with other music from around the globe e.g house, hip hop, classical and more. 
I communicate with distributors and label representatives to obtain new music. My daily activities include reaching out to artist managers and their labels so as to organize new collaborations for new songs or supply new music at the same time. 
I handle requests for specific music selections at music events and digital broadcasting services. My experience with deejaying dates to the beginning of my college life where I hosted several events at school, a feat that catapulted me to performing at the Berkeley radio station and eventually important events in the Bay Area.

I attended the University of California Berkeley from June of the year 2015 to May of 2021 and I majored in Music with a focus on Jazz Improvisation. I was also a Mastercard Foundation Scholar. Aside that, I took classes in STEM and writing, if in any case, a relevant number of courses for development in the 21st century.
